Thank Christ that was sorted out before midnight! At least we have 3 proper qualifiers instead of one of the current GP riders getting in and having to wait and see what happens in the remaining GPs.

 

Holder and Hampel - two worthy additions. Zetterstrom? Blimey! Can't see him doing much! But he's there on merit so fair enough.

 

Glad Miedzinski didn't make it. Should increase the chances of seeing him at Swindon next year!

 

Rico must be on for a wild card now then with Harris presuably out.

Holder great...Magnus will be totally outclassed in the series and doesn't enhance it at all imho. Hampel is not a surprising qualifier either. Think Lindgren should be OK to stay in of his own volition. Others may have to wait on the wildcards...

 

Bit harsh on Mango. He won't win a round or make a final but will do no worse than Ulamek, Walasek etc. He battles and can gate.

 

Well pleased for him.

If he qualified on the night then he deserves it, despite the rubbishe he gets on here (magnus that is), as for Holder, top bloke and really deserves it, as Steve says,special!!

While your assumption about Magnus may be correct ,there have been plenty OTHERS like him over the last few years.he has done the rounds and QUALIFIED on merit .Plenty have failed. Harris Lingdren&Bjerre are all GP riders where were they tonight dont say they were not trying.

We'll see Steve. I'm looking at this objectively and not as a Poole fan. If he rode for another club would you be saying the same thing? It's true he has qualified on merit and fair play, but I think he'll be struggling to score more than a few points in the entire series.

Whilst I agree that Zorro qualified by right, how will he enhance the GP's :unsure: , at least Scott and Bomber are heat leaders :neutral:

 

I think he will be cannon fodder but he deserves his chance. Bomber and Scotty have had umpteen opportunities and have losued them all up....Richardson for a Wild Card if the organisers want a Brit in the series.

True, he's done the rounds and got through with hard work and I'm not begrudging him that at all. I'm just thinking about he series as a spectacle is all - plenty of better riders than Mango have tried and failed in the series. For a journeyman like him, I just can't see how he's going to live with the main body of the 16. We shall see - as ever I'm happy to be proved wrong.

I see Harris finished on 10 in the end and just behind the qualifiers. So if he does get a wild card I guess there can't be any complaints. He may have just saved himself with that last heat win.

If he gets a WC it will be a complete farce. GB don't have a rider capable of competing apart from Rico.
